Description
Is there a way to use google-format-code instead of the eclipse formatter with vscode-java ?
At the moment i'm forced to use it with the SaveAndRun extension, but this has issues like me doing changes while the file is saved and having to reconcile the buffer as it tries to reload.
I could work on a PR for this if you give a few stating points on how to implement this, it would help ?
Thanks,

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing Eclipse formatter integration and the VS Code Java formatter configuration, then determine how google-format-code could be selected without SaveAndRun. Done means formatting can use google-format-code directly and avoids the buffer reload conflict described here.
